We make every effort to be as accurate as possible in describing our catalog items. All are guaranteed to be as represented. We do, however, offer a 7-day return policy consisting of a full refund less shipping upon receipt of the item in its original shipped condition.

Jcollector offers its customers an interest-free layaway plan that makes it possible to stretch payments over three or four months without paying a penalty. JIollector's layaway program is 100% interest-free and very easy. Many of our customers choose to purchase items in this manner.

This is how it works. Once an item has been ordered, payments are divided evenly in three or four installments over a period of as many months. The first credit card installment is paid at the time of the order, then the others each month thereafter. Upon completion of all payments, the item is delivered. No interest is charged.
